Stage at administration parking lot. We have an NOA coming in for 11am time slot and this veteran will arrive for an 11:30 time slot so that we should be able to honor both veterans easily. We should be done by noon. RC Fenech is bringing a veteran to St Charles around 12:45, so some members possibly can assist there. It is an unusual time where we have been requested for three honor missions at roughly the same time.
